Check HBA Firmware

[Adam Garsha]

How can you check the firmware version of your HBA's with 11.11 and 11.23 on rp and rx systems?

Must it be checked via MP and/or GP?

Can it be checked while the system is live. If it is checked via MP and/or GP, what is the menu path to the listings? (if not exact, just get me headed in the right direction).

Run following commands to see it.

1. check how many HBA's you have

ioscan -fnCfc

2. See last line after running the following command:

fcmsutil /dev/fcd1

That is driver info. I want to get firmware from the cards.

e.g. on windows I'd see something like
3.93a0

e.g. on Tru64 I'd see something like
F/W Rev 3.92A2(2.30A1)

(I am assuming that HP-UX uses emulex cards also)

My cards: A6795A HP Tachyon XL2

Hi,

Try stm/cstm.

I think you may have to use the following options from fcmsutil command:

like

fcmsutil /dev/fcd1 dump_current_state

dump_current_state (QL)
This option is used to force the driver and firmware to
dump their current state information and other data
structures. WARNING: This is a DESTRUCTIVE operation.
This might result in failure of current I/O requests.
The dump data will be saved in the /tmp directory. The
Firmware dump will be stored in a file named
fcdfw_date-timestamp.dmp and the driver dump will be
saved in a file named fcddrv_date-timestamp.dmp. This
option is supported only by DUAL PORT and FC/GigE Combo
cards.

dump_saved_state (QL)
This option is used to retrieve firmware and driver
dump, saved in the driver memory. Driver initiates a
dump when a fatal event is encountered. Fatal events
could be either because of firmware hang or because
there was an irrecoverable error either in the firmware
or hardware. The dump files will be saved in the /tmp
directory. The Firmware dump will be stored in a file
named fcdfw_date-timestamp.dmp and the driver dump will
be saved in a file named fcddrv_date-timestamp.dmp.

Nope.

I don't think the dump is the way to go. I'll contact HP and post the result.
